1. How Chinese People View Indians
---① To answer this question, one must first answer: What is the ideology of the Chinese people like?China is a highly backward nation in terms of civilization. As an ancient country, its accumulation of spiritual culture lags far behind that of India, and it lacks basic modern morals and values. The modernization of these fundamental ideological concepts was first brought over from Japan by international students during the Qing Dynasty, performing an "enlightenment" in China. This was subsequently followed by the Russian Bolsheviks, who brought genuine spiritual modernization to China. In one fell swoop, they elevated the Qing Dynasty serfs from semi-slave, semi-feudal subjects into true citizens. Within a few decades, China traversed a path that took Western society 500 years to complete.
However, because this set of thinking patterns entered China too recently, it remains akin to a "factory-farmed, chemically ripened chicken" and lacks a basic intellectual foundation among the general populace. Consequently, after 1978, China plummeted back into what is, in a certain sense, a semi-feudal and semi-civilized society.
The Chinese people possess an extremely strong slave mentality, yet they are incredibly cowardly. They loathe officials and the government, yet they maintain an extremely restrained and humble obedience—this is the result of 3,000 years of domestication by feudal lords. The Bolsheviks wanted to teach them hand-in-hand how to be "citizens," but the people lacked the capacity for it. They can only exist as the domestic slaves of their rulers. Because they fear sticking their necks out, displaying unconditional obedience to the government is an action hardcoded into their genes.
Having said all that, what is the ideology of the Chinese people like? To alleviate the pain generated by the core problem I described above, the Chinese public possesses an intensely self-deceiving nature (a trait similar to Indians). The core of this is mocking the poor but not the prostitute, characterized by self-contradictory double standards.
What is the most sinister aspect of Chinese culture?Do you think that after suffering oppression, they would want a country free of oppression?No. They are simply poor right now. Once these people at the bottom become wealthy, they too will ruthlessly and unthinkingly turn around to oppress other underclasses.Because "knowing how to obey" is merely a low-level form of slave mentality; "believing in the law of the jungle and slavery itself" is the ultimate skill that makes Chinese slaves the crown jewels among global slaves.
Furthermore, due to immense survival pressures and an empty core within their traditional culture, Chinese people require highly potent spiritual placebos to soothe the agony of their real lives—and they must evade the core factor of their own cowardice in this process.
Political topics are perennially popular in China. Perhaps no other country's citizens possess such a high level of interest in politics—particularly international politics—as Chinese citizens do. This serves as a powerful placebo.
Because discussing domestic topics will get you severely beaten by the public security bureau. Only discussing international politics is safe.Only by expressing the alleged greatness of their own country and despising all Western nations as barbarians can they achieve satisfaction.
And the official authorities are more than happy to use this channel to provide the slaves at the bottom with an outlet for emotional release. Therefore, the official apparatus itself actively supports chauvinism and racism. In fact, Chinese people view the world exactly according to skin color; here, I have constructed a baseline logical map of how ordinary Chinese citizens view various nations.
↑Based on this chart, you can understand the worldview and logic held by the majority of ordinary Chinese people:
Rome has already Die,
The Soviet Union has already collapsed,
Germany is left with a mere few tens of millions and is of no consequence,
The Anglo-Saxons' only hope—the United States—is on the verge of being defeated by Black, Latino, and Brown populations,
Therefore, only the Han people are invincible.
Only by grasping this fundamental line of reasoning can you understand the mindset regarding foreign affairs shared by the majority of Chinese people—
and I believe I am the only one who can explain it.
② Therefore, how do Chinese people view Indians?
As I have already stated above, when Chinese people "view" international politics, they do so with the target KPI of searching for a spiritual placebo. By asking this, you are in fact asking: "How do Chinese people 'win' by comparing themselves to India?"
-------1. Dirty: Dirtiness is a characteristic of poverty, so first and foremost, they look down on Indians for being poor.
-------2. Stupid: Because of the previous point, because they are poor, they are stupid; and this stupidity, in turn, reproduces poverty.
-------3. Dark-skinned, therefore inferior: (Yes, this point was copied and brought over from the West. However, for the sake of political correctness, Westerners no longer dare to say it publicly now, but the Chinese dare. This is because, deep down in their bones, the Chinese feel that the only people on Earth who can compete with them for status are the Anglo-Saxons—because they have money). Because their skin is dark, it further reinforces the first two points.
-------4. Regarding the matter of "belonging to an ancient civilization just like China," it goes like this: Reddit is a community for foreigners. Ordinary Chinese (mainlanders) cannot access it, or those who can come here do so for propaganda purposes. In many aspects, they cannot speak as piercingly to the truth as a real Chinese person like me. In the worldview of the Chinese people, out of the so-called "Four Great Ancient Civilizations" (a self-invented concept from the 1900s, an era when nationalists were overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, based on the Western historical view at the time of the "Five Great Cradles of Civilization"—Babylonia, Egypt, Greece, India, and China—which they self-invented by removing Greece, the root of Western civilization. This was a form of Ah Q-style spiritual victory to deny Western history because the Qing Dynasty was being invaded and crushed by the West back then, and the Chinese found it difficult to accept reality), China is the only surviving spark—all other civilizations have already "died out," and only China is the oldest, most powerful historically continuous powerhouse in the world (in reality, more than half of China's dynasties were complete conquests of the southern Chinese by northern nomadic races like the Mongols and Mongol-analogs). The other three, including India, are just there to make up the numbers—this is the consistent propaganda and educational baseline of the Chinese authorities, and in fact, it is simply another way of phrasing the theory of Chinese racial supremacy.
③, I can also give you the templates for how Chinese people assess other major countries,
Or you could call them the standard formulaic stories of "How Chinese people 'win' by comparing themselves to Country XXX."Russia
------1. Only knows how to fight, has no culture.------2. Doesn't understand that Western politics and economics are the true path. They belong to the category of barbarians wandering outside the civilized world, far inferior to the Chinese, who stand higher and see further.
------3. A mixed breed of Mongols and whites, therefore inferior. (As previously stated, the Chinese firmly believe in the skin color theories invented by the West, except the Chinese believe that the "Chinese breed" is at least as high-grade as the "most authentic" white race, while all other ethnicities are inferior. In their eyes, Russians, Eastern Europeans, and Latinos are half a tier lower than the Anglo-Saxons.)
Japan
------1. Merely a knockoff of China. If it weren't for the sea separating them, China would have crushed them long ago.------2. Losing to Japan was just an accident. The Chinese just lacked internal magical power back then and didn't unleash their "Five-Step Lightning Whip." (Note: A notorious Chinese internet meme mocking fake kung fu masters—used here to ridicule the absurd coping excuse that China lost only because it didn't use fictional, magical martial arts).
All Western European Countries
------1. Only Rome is worthy of standing on equal footing with China. The European countries that followed are already finished; they are all insignificant micro-states. When their leaders visit China, they should only be given the reception treatment of a municipal mayor.------2. Losing to the Eight-Nation Alliance was just an accident. The Chinese just lacked internal magical power back then and didn't unleash their "Five-Step Lightning Whip."
Eastern European Countries
------1. Whores.------2. Whores.
------3. Whores.
United States
------1. The only country capable of rivaling the Celestial Empire right now. However, its days are numbered, and defeating the US is purely a matter of time.------2. Because the white race (excluding Eastern Europeans and Latinos here) is already in decline, it further reinforces the previous point.
------3. Because it lacks the ancient history of China, it is fundamentally incapable of competing with an ancient civilization like China.
======================
"The other points are spot on, including how Chinese people project themselves onto Indians, imagining them as reflections of themselves, and then further attacking the very flaws within themselves that they refuse to admit.
The derogatory term 'Ah San' (阿三) is also highly accurate in this context. It originated from Indian colonial police officers under British rule; the pronunciation is actually identical to how they mispronounced 'Ah Sir'."

2.Regarding How Chinese People View Themselves
①High-level intellectuals understand that China is actually practicing the predatory, monopolistic capitalism of the 1900s West. These high-level intellectuals are basically split into 3 categories.----The first category worries about survival, deeply anxious over how rapidly this system is overdrawing the society’s future potential.
----The second category consists of the vested-interest capitalist class. They believe that keeping the current system going for as long as possible is the best-case scenario because it allows them to milk more money out of it (as their actual abilities would never yield them this kind of success anywhere else on Earth). To them, it doesn't matter as long as this game of hot potato doesn't explode in their own hands—after all, they can always just immigrate to the United States when the time comes. This type accounts for nearly half of the high-level intellectual population.
----Then there is a third category: those in power, who honestly have no idea what to do about the future either.
②Meanwhile, the middle class, lower class, and the vast majority (at least 80%) of Chinese people believe that "China is just China," and that it has run this way for thousands of years—meaning all its irrationalities and dark sides are deemed "normal." They take their high-pressure existence entirely for granted and assume that every other country operates exactly the same way. For instance, they genuinely believe that the Soviet Union used to run like this, that the United States runs like this now, and India too. Therefore, when they hear in the news that Indian workers dare to revolt against Samsung's tyranny to demand an 8-hour workday, most of these Chinese people find it mind-boggling and begin to mock them. Likewise, when they see death-defying Russians or North Koreans strapping on bombs to launch suicide attacks against Americans and their Western proxies, they similarly find it incomprehensible and ridicule it. This is because they cannot accept that while they claim to be "the most superior race in the world," other races are actually doing things in reality that the Chinese themselves cannot achieve (or can only be done by those mechanical, cookie-cutter characters in Chinese propaganda films). This only further highlights the inherent weakness of their dominant ethnic group.
--------------Struggling to accept the reality of having inherited mediocrity and incompetence.
3.As for How China’s High Command Views China
Maintaining social stability is absolutely Priority Number One. If the government possesses 100 units of power, it will expend 65 points on this front, whereas countering the United States accounts for a mere 10 points. China's corruption stems from the commoners' genetic dread of raw power. During the recent pandemic, China maintained high-pressure lockdown measures for three years. The moment a single positive case popped up in a village, town, or a residential compound with a population of tens of thousands, it would be forcibly locked down immediately, halting all work and business. Often, simply hiring 30 temporary security guards, putting red armbands on them, and giving them a few packs of cotton swabs was enough to lock down and police a residential area of tens of thousands—and no one dared to cross the line or resist. To use an old Chinese proverb, it is a mindset of "Starving to death is a small matter, but losing one's integrity [to the master] is a grave matter."------The phrase 'Starving to death is a small matter, but losing one's integrity is a grave matter' --------------originally meant that traditional Chinese women had to guard their 'purity' at all costs; even in a brutal famine, they wouldn't accept a piece of bread from a neighbor's husband, choosing starvation instead.
What makes it far more cynical today is how the current moral fabric forces the absolute bottom of society to sign away all dignity and fundamental human rights. As mere peasants, they are expected to perform the duties of state officials, willingly and proactively acting as the unpaid guardians of government dictates.
Including folks like you, outsiders have an utterly inadequate understanding of China. Trying to comprehend Chinese "beasts of burden" (Niuma) using the psychological frameworks of foreigners is completely unscientific.
Furthermore, on the topic of corruption: the corruption of the Communist Party actually qualifies as excellent and restrained when compared to any of the major Chinese dynasties in recent history. Swapping in any other government, political party, or system wouldn’t change a thing. It is the exact same reason why Chinese "Chinatowns" in the United States remain an absolute shambles.
This is a fundamental flaw in the HAN national character.
4.As for Ladakh
Not a single Chinese person gives a damn about these things. It is merely a seasoning for their high-pressure lives, serving as idle gossip over tea and meals, and a tool used by the purged military brass to flash their toughness to the central leadership. Nor does anyone actually believe in something like The Art of War—it is just a talking point, a piece of proverbial folklore akin to Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. The whole thing is baffling and utterly nonsensical.Back in history, a mere 20,000 Manchu cavalrymen, joined by an allied force of 8,000 Mongols and roughly 20,000 additional Han puppet troops—making a total Eight Banners alliance of just 50,000—completely annihilated a Han dynasty（Ming dynasty） boasting a population of at least 60 million and "an army of hundreds of thousands."
Yet, in the exact same era, during the Second Battle of Albazin (1686), a 3,000-strong Manchu force faced a ragtag group of 826 Russian merchants, hunters, peasants, and frontiersmen, and ended up losing over 500 of their own. Even worse was the Battle of Achansk (乌扎拉之战) in 1652, where 1,225 Qing soldiers equipped with 6 cannons went to wipe out a Russian force of a mere 207 men, only to be counter-slaughtered, losing 676 men.
The Japanese ran through China like a knife through butter (Kangua Qieca). A few thousand Japanese troops could chase tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers all over the place, sweeping all the way from the Greater Khingan Mountains to the shores of the South China Sea like absolute gods of war. By contrast, the elite of the Japanese military—the 700,000-strong Kwantung Army—couldn't even hold out for 15 days under the onslaught of just two fronts of the Soviet Red Army.

China’s Hidden Racial Hierarchy and Ethnic Paradox
China is a thoroughly racist country, particularly in how it views the rest of the world through the lens of skin color.
Furthermore, this worldview and value system are fundamentally institutionalized and pushed by the education system. Although these educational methods are subtle and covert—never explicitly stating that Black or brown people are "dirty," but rather using a variety of sophisticated tropes to instill the same message—the desired effect is fully achieved. Because China’s internet environment is closed off, most people on the outside do not actually understand the depth of this issue. In contemporary Western societies, very few people dare to openly and candidly express racial discrimination, as it violates "political correctness." In China, however, no such political correctness exists.
The Paradox of Ethnic Group Status
This reality manifests in a deeply contradictory set of relationships. If a Manchu person today dared to walk down the street keeping a traditional queue (braid), they would be physically assaulted by a mob, regardless of whether keeping a queue is part of their ethnic heritage or not. For the vast majority of minority groups, they occupy the weakest and most marginalized positions.
Yet, if you are a Hui (Muslim), Uyghur (Muslim), or Tibetan, you are accorded what amounts to aristocratic treatment in China. This is because the government bullies the weak but fears the strong; they only fear ethnic groups that are capable of rising up, rioting, and causing severe political consequences. In front of these groups, the Han majority instantly subverts itself into a servile status. In fact, prior to the 2000s, Tibetans legally and openly carried long swords and primitive firearms; if a Tibetan killed a Han person, under normal circumstances they would not be sentenced to death. ...without even facing prison timeThe courts would invariably chalk everything up to a "matter of ethnic sentiments."
Therefore, despite China claiming to have 56 ethnic minorities:
The Muslims, Tibetans, and the Yi people in certain regions enjoy absolute aristocratic status. At the end of the day, it is simply because they are fierce and unyielding. Meanwhile, other populous minorities—such as the Zhuang and Miao—receive treatment indistinguishable from the Han, while the remaining smaller minorities are treated as mere window dressing.
